Is there anywhere to get those ads without having to book my face? (Asking for a friend, obviously)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

Always have a fent test kit… especially if you bought it off Instagram

I don't know man, but I've browsed marketplace in the past and have seen adds for mushrooms and all sorts.

Those are grow kits not actual mushrooms, it's more of a grey area although selling spores for growing is expressly illegal.

Just yesterday I got an ad for actual shrooms! The website even had a "how is this legal" section, but the legal theory in there was... Not very convincing...

Fair enough, Jesus they're getting really brazen

There are actual physical mushroom stores in my city even though it's not legal in Canada. There's one a few minutes away from me called The Mush Room. I love to see it, it reminds me of when weed was about to get legalized and stores were popping up before it was official.

Nah man, just pictures of mushrooms and in the description options for lsd etc too.

In pretty sure it's cops or trolls though

[–] [email protected] 20 points 4 months ago

Why does everyone else get all the good ads?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Only hundreds? With their active userbase? I know the article said they were told about it by a previous news article several months ago, but like, at some point there's only so much you can do.

I expect Facebook did nothing, which is not only so much you can do, but also I expect that from Facebook. The whole company needs to be split up, and this is just another symptom of that.

Used to be you had to go to dark web tor sites to get this shit. Now it’s just all on meta?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Huh, may just need to go make an account there.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Meta is probably more likely to share your info with law enforcement.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Aw man, that means I'd have to share my stash...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Except now it’s all cut with fentanyl

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Does the facebook marketplace have an onion link?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That's an improvement over He Gets Us ads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So Facebook loves cocaine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

X does too. Seems like other social media should get on board.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Enhance your calm.

Cool they should setup their own hidden services! 😂
